December Influentster JollyVoxBox

I GOT A GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I signed up for an influenster membership once I saw someone else receive free products from this company, and y'all should know I LOVE FREE! So when I was told I will be receiving the Jolly VoxBox for December I was ecstatic.

 "It's the most wonderful time of the year.. Filled with treasure to keep you smiling from ear to ear, the Jolly VoxBox is finally here!" The JollyVoxBox was the first gift under my Christmas tree. 
Inside the box was the goodies I received:
Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong To Go Tissue Pack- This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm getting over a cold and made the mistake of using tissue I got from a fast food place (big mistake-but i know i'm not the only one who did this). These tissues are one of their "non-lotion" kind but nonetheless they are soft and gentle of my red raw nose.
NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Shadow- $2.99 I'm one of the few women who do not wear make-up. On a rare blue moon I'll use some foundation and that's it. However, this palette comes with three neutral shades (highlight, all-over color, and crease). 
Rimmel London NEW Show Off Lip Lacquer- $5.49-$5.99 This lip lacquer is in the shade stargazer which is like a champagne color with gold flecks in it. Its creamy and I like it. Between this lip gloss and the eye shadow I may actually wear makeup more often.
Skinny Cow Candy- $3.99/box I LOVE chocolate. This low calorie snack lets me enjoy chocolate and caramel without guilt. Yummmmm!
Ducklings Mini Rolls- $2-$3 This roll of tape has a 'splatter-paint' pattern that is just too cute. This will make my sub-par gift wrapping look a whole lot better one the eyes and too the kids. 

Testing out these products were fun and I enjoyed them. Thank you Influenster, Happy Holidays!

L'oreal Evercurl Review And Protective Style

Okay I have to make record of this because I never want to make the mistake of not liking these products. forget and buy them over again. C'mon I know I'm not the only one who experienced this. So here is my review of L'oreal Evercurl.

OK......
The  L'oreal Evercurl Shampoo was decent actually. It doesn't strip my hair and make it feel like matted straw but it does not have that clean tingle that I love with the U R Curly shampoo. So its is decent but i won't purchase another.

The  L'oreal Evercurl Conditioner was horrible. There just isn't a better way to describe it. It had very little slip, my hair didn't feel soft, and I ended up using 1/4 of the bottle in one session. I definitely won't purchase another one of these.

The  L'oreal Evercurl Leave-in was decent as well. After rinsing out the conditioner, I t-shirt-dried my hair for 5 min. When I applied the leave-in my hair was noticeably softer. Detangled with comb and a tangle teezer which was decent but nothing special. I wish it had more slip and the bottle was bigger.

All in all these products I would not recommend or repurchase and they will be overlooked the next time im in the drugstore.


So lately I have been working my behind off and have been neglecting my hair. After the L'oreal disappointment I decided to twist my hair for the week ahead. It took three hours and Im not sure why because my twists weren't that small. I used the Eden BodyWorks Pudding Souffle which I am loving because of the price (like $10) and the way it has kept my hair soft in 20 degree weather for days. To get this style I took the front pieces of my twists, crossed them in the back and pinned them down. Taking the rest of my twists in the back i fold them up to the center of the back where my twists previously cross and pin them down. Its simple and I love the way it looks.

Leave comments below if you would like me to do more of these "styles". Take care Curlies!

Product Junkie Withdrawals

Hello Beautiful Curlies!

I am writing this post because I want a record of what I, not only emotionally but physically too, am going through. Black Friday was last month and I didn't get a single thing. Don't get me wrong I had a list with almost 20 products on my phone but realized that I haven't used up what I had. And it I am on a no-buy till march.
 So while everyone is getting there black Friday discounted products and making videos I noticed I physically have been running my hands through my hair constantly. This is serious y'all! Is it possible to be addicted to buying hair products? Not necessarily using them, because in all honesty some of them ain't worth it, but just buying them. For example, I am a big fan of CurlyGirlJess on YouTube, and yes I know we don't have the same curl pattern but i don't care, and she did a haul that included kizuribeauty products. Their products are AFFORDABLE!!!! The first thing I thought of was this might be a replacement for Shea moisture because i don't know if anyone else is noticing this but Shea moisture is upping their prices and in some products (the style milk) decreasing product sizes. I really wanted to try their products and they are now having a sale for 20% off(ending today of course i find out about it the last day of the sale). If anyone is interested let me know if you heard or used and liked their products. Take care Curlies!
